Began as an extremely sweet and heartwarming love story, devolved halfway into a murderous mystery. I would have enjoyed this immensely more had it just focused on the evolution of the central character’s marriage. The “fish out of water” storyline for the female lead, a lower class woman navigating her way in upper class marriage, was hook enough. It didn’t need the thriller aspects AT ALL.
